​DMV organises pitch events for start-ups to pitch to potential investors, with three companies presenting during each session. These are conducted once every 2 to 3 months, with the specific date available on our Events page. 

​

For Investors:

• DMV enables accredited angel investors to find exceptional startups, make smart investment decisions, and support enthusiastic entrepreneurs as part of the broader DMV community.

• Participants in pitch sessions benefit from access to a steady flow of investment opportunities in companies connected to DMV.

• To indicate interest as an investor, please register here or send your contact details to info@digitalmissionventures.com

​

For Startups:

• Applications for our Aug session are OPEN. To indicate interest for future sessions after June,  please register here and send a summary proposal to info@digitalmissionventures.com. Proposals go through the following process:

  • Submission: Send a presentation deck to info@digitalmissionventures.com, with content including the problem, solution, target market, competitive advantage, sales & marketing strategy, revenue model, team, financial projections and exit opportunities.

  • Initial qualification by the DMV team: The team will review the submission and may follow up with email, a phone call, or a virtual or in-person meeting. 

  • Pitch: Start-ups selected to pitch will be notified at least 2 weeks in advance. The start-up presents to potential investors who are interested in learning about the opportunity. 

  • Due diligence. If there is sufficient interest, DMV will schedule a follow-up meeting to connect investors with the start-up for a due diligence process. DMV will then support follow-through on due diligence. 

  • Terms discussion and closing: If there is sufficient interest, investors would proceed to discuss investment terms with the company and work towards closing transactions.   

• Presentations to potential investors are virtual via Zoom. Pitches are 10 minutes, with 5 minutes of curated Q&A. The DMV team can provide information about DMV and suggestions for the pitch, and we will provide feedback on the presentation.​

• DMV and its members invest primarily in Southeast Asia. Along with opportunity for financial returns, we look to invest in Christian tech founders who want to build redemptive missional companies. Specifically, we look for entrepreneurs who are:

  • Spiritually mature, culturally astute, and in community with fellow believers.

  • Running innovative tech start-ups with a minimum viable product and path to profitability.

  • Intentional about using their ventures to live out the truth and beauty of the gospel.

  • Willing to collaborate within the body of Christ and use their tech to support frontier missions.

• Key attributes of start-ups most often selected for investment include:

  • Customer value proposition that can profitably solve a real-world problem.

  • Differentiating technology and product or service that can be monetised and can scale.

  • Defensible competitive advantage, such as patents and/or other barriers to competition

  • Clear go-to-market strategy, with traction such as sales revenue, LOIs or MOUs. 

  • Clear and documented understanding of the competition and risks.

  • Clear path to profitability, the ability to generate $20 million in revenues within 5 years and a reasonable valuation. 

• Kingdom and social or environmental impact. 

• Raising a total of $500,000-$3 million, with a willingness to accept smaller check sizes.
